Undergraduate Research Initiative

The Undergraduate Research Initiative (URI) supports students’ academic and career development through engagement in hands-on research and creative activities.

We work with undergraduate students in any discipline, any year of study, and at any stage of the research process – from exploration to publication. Undergraduate research is a great way to gain practical experience, develop professional skills and connections, and expand your career options.

A question can take you anywhere: Where will your curiosity take you?
